Exposing America's failure is as deep as the flesh

The passionate director Olivier Stone, has filmed two American presidents, and has also made many modern American wars and 9/11 movies. He is concerned about American politics to the point of fever, so he is not afraid of sensitivity and taboo, and is eager to take the undead Xiaobu. President Shu moved onto the screen.

This time he is not going to pursue this political leader who is recognized as having little talent, nor does he ridicule and reproduce his ugly state of "failures" and "abnormalities." The film was flat, without any dramatic scenes. The whole film was just a duck-back calm confession. There was only one scene where Bush blamed his staff for inaccurate investigations into Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and spoke loudly and hurriedly. Many people wonder why Olivier Stone, who has always had a fire in his heart, made it so painless. However, thinking that he could not find funds in the United States for this sensitive film this time, he would have to look for Australia, Switzerland, France, and Hong Kong. Emperor Films, etc., raised funds to make the film, you can know that he made this film to let audiences all over the world understand the truth, not to lash out on little Bush.

He and the screenwriter Stanley Weiser focused on showing the audience the real situation: how a playboy who likes to pick up girls and loves baseball can step into the presidential position step by step by ordinary means.
The United States, a country with a sound democratic system, seems reasonable, but when we see Bush meeting with cabinet members and deciding to attack Iraq, we will be surprised if everyone makes casual decisions. When the TV footage of the heavy artillery bombardment of Iraq was transmitted back to the United States, senior US officials would clap and hug happily, showing their shamelessness and ignorance.

Olivier Stone made this film, focusing on presenting the performance and reaction of cabinet members at that time. In fact, his exposure of America's failures today is even more profound. The decline of the United States today is not the fault of the president alone, but the negligence of the entire government.

The purpose of shooting this real-life movie is to present historical events. The director tries to show the world one scene after another, so that everyone can know and understand the truth. This is probably the biggest significance of this film. Don’t let him down. Painstakingly. Expressing critical opinions and venting emotions are not important in terms of history. (over)

    He told us: The president loves to eat, the president is informal, and the president has to go to the toilet. For the part about politics, see Doze...

    At first, I wanted to say that Bush Jr. is an asshole, and then I thought that all Americans are assholes, and finally I see it. People are selfish bastards.
